Strange things happen when you’re a music blogger with a passionate stance on what constitutes “good music” and you’re seeking to reconcile those views with what is “wedding appropriate.” You’ll find yourself watching endless youtube clips and scouring the web for anything that remotely meshes your personal taste with something passable in a formal setting. Believe me, this is no easy task.
In my intrepid wanderings I stumbled upon a collaborative effort that goes by the name of Vitamin String Quartet. Chances are you’ve heard of them, but for me it was a new revelation and I’ve been enjoying listening to their compositional renditions of more contemporary artists (check out their wikipedia page for a “partial” discography which is quite ridiculous in the amount of artists they’ve covered).

I love the beautiful simplicity of this track and the string arrangement is divine. Now if only they sold their sheet music I would be set. And for those that are wondering the rest of their canon, available largely from either amazon or itunes, is solid as well.
